Dies to Removal

Another potential sideboard card missed was Putrify. Although, it is an instant speed and worse dreadbore. So really not an issue. If you are that concerned about it, just board dark betrayal. Screw it.

You don't have enough black sources for Downfall. Four Dreadbore is more than enough.

But isn't the issue with Dreadbore that it is sorcery - and therefore cant hit either blood baron OR Obzedat?

I have played jund monsters for a couple of weeks now. Last week a won Game Day at a small shop with it. Last night at FNM I got crushed (went 1-3). Obzedat and Blood Baron were particularly troublesome. I just didn't see mortars when needed for the Baron. But Obzedat seems like a problem for this ...

I am loving "Jund Monstars" - feels amazing. Sideboarding Instead of posting my list (which is slightly different to that above), and then saying +3 XYZ -2 xyz - I feel it is better to talk about what cards are good and bad for each matchup, and then allow each person to make their own cho...

I dont play it in a devotion deck, i am over decks like GR devotion where your threat density is pretty low, and a single thoughtseize can throw you off completely. This is my starting list i have been using to get a feel [deck]4 elvish mystic 3 sylvan caryatid 4 Fanatic of Xenagos 3 Polukranos 4 gh...

I proxied it, added 3 to the GR beasts list posted by kibler (star city premium) - and with 4 Fanatic of Xenagos. The god does work against control and mid range, and against agro, well your planeswalkers do most of the work. I really like it

Re: swapping to RG - I think that it will depend on God Xenagos' ability - the multicolour gods will only have 1 ability, which is pretty ordinary. That being said, if the 1 ability has great synergy with your strategy, then no loss. Just saw the new Mogis, god of slaughter - 2 to the dome every tur...

It does look aesthetically pleasing. But the card draw is unlikely, because if this is played on the 4th turn, having 7 devotion seems unlikely, if not impossible (ok, soldier, then 2x precinct captains on turns 2 and 3 works), but then you dont actually start drawing cards until turn 6? it says &qu...

...but the deck runs like a dream. Doesn't it just? I think the draws and how nicely this deck runs is what brought me back to devotion lists. Just this amazing synergy In the final round of FNM, both me and a UW deck at 3-0, playing essentially for pride and the extra pack of first. Just the absur...

So, although the hype train is fully in motion for this one, surely it will see some play in Esper Agro or WB humans. The problem however remains - if there is a 3/3 out there, what the hell do you do with this retarded 2/2? A quick seach through magiccards.info came up with the following cards for ...

So is the outcome that while maybe this isn't playable in the current devotion or big boros shell, it is good enough that it could see play in another deck that relies more heavily on 1 - 1 removal and looks for a not creature answer to planeswalkers (say a UR control deck)? I am pretty sure that it...

I like Inspiration. Depending on the effect it may actually combo well with Ral Zarek

I went 3-0-1 FNM with the intentional draw in the final round. It was UW control in the final, and we played for extra packs - i went 3-0. Opened thoughseize, nykthos and a rg scryland @Fate - the Naya deck's nutdraw is absolutely fantastic. Possibly the most powerful draw in standard. BUT I found t...

I am of the view that it is worse than Heroes downfall in absolutely every aspect - worse coloured mana requirements, more expensive and a conditional terror. Can that be made up for with a scry 2? It seems underpowered with the conditional scry 2. The only good thing i will say about it is that it ...

I'm fine with dropping the FotFB, but there isn't much else I'm comfortable cutting. A touch out of left field, but what about cutting down to 2 Firedrinker, to have 6 x 1 drops total. The best time for 1 drops is the opening hand and especially on the play. On the draw is less vital. These are the...

Hey guys, I did some playtesting post board vs mono blue today for about 2 hours, and was completely annihilated over and over. Through Bident, Jace, thassa and Master of waves, i just feel there is absolutely no way to come through ahead against this matchup. I looked through the videos on the last...

Deck looks solid Volition and I would recommend (if I ever play Devo again it will play it with Domri and Chandra :flame:) I'm not going knock on devotion since I know its a good deck, I just can't play it - need my CA. Anyhow here is the only replay I saved when I did run Rw Devo Boros Devotion Ex...

http://sales.starcitygames.com//deckdatabase/displaydeck.php?DeckID=61377 All the things. Hey guys, So I have been testing the Naya Devotion list, with a few small tweaks - I suppose i may as well post the deck. The only changes i made were to increase the number of chained to the rocks to 4, and s...

Which version of devotion did you play? Red White, splashing for chained and then some charms. The issue i found was that if they killed your t2 ash zealot or frostburn weird, or got you top decking later in the game, you were in a pretty tight spot. Definitely not saying i am an authority on the d...

Good day devotion mages, I gave devotion a go between about early November to early December, and found it extremely fragile to decks that pack a lot of 1 for 1 hate - such as mono black. Like people here, i tried with cacklers in and out, and Satyrs in the board for control matchups. Overall, i end...

Match 1: Bg Devotion, won 2:0. Nothing of note happened. Match 2: Bg Devotion, lost 1:2. Game 3 he got stuck on two land but I flooded out (keeping 3x YP$ 1x L-Strike?, 3x Land) and had ~7 land by the time he drew his third and had a hand full of gas. Was able to keep me off Pyros too. Bleh. Match ...

Hey all, I played PyroRed in standard for Monday night magic, exact same list as Pedros, except that I swapped out a mutavault for a boros guildgate. After thinking about it, and the comments here, i went to 4 lightning strike. It really was the best [deck]Creatures 4 Rakdos Cackler 4 Young Pyromanc...

Volition: The thing that stuck out to me about your list was that it only has 3 Lightning Strikes. This seems...bad. You also have 4 Shocks, and based upon what decks you faced, this also seems like a wrong choice. I'd like to hear your reasoning for this. Were you just expecting to face a lot of s...

Sup.

Might be up your way for GP Brisbae next year, beers are required I think

That could definitely be arranged

I went 4-0-1 at FNM playing this: [deck] Creatures (8) 4 Rakdos Cackler 4 Firedrinker Satyr 4 Young Pyromancer 4 Chandra's Phoenix Planeswalkers (2) 2 Chandra, Pyromaster Enchantments (3) 3 Chained to the Rocks Spells (16) 2 Flames of the Firebrand 3 Lightning Strike 4 Magma Jet 4 Shock 3 Boros Char...

G'day, new member here, another from Australia (Qld). I am 28, lawyer, and have a 4 month old baby who thinks he is hilarious when he wakes me up at 3:30am cause he wasnt to play. I started playing in Onslaught block into mirrodin, playing vs skullclamp back in the day. I started with elves, then we...
